Posted in: Do you consider the A-bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to be war crimes? See in context
Yes, using nuclear bombs on civilians is a clear violation of international law and a war crime.
The US government knew that the Japanese government would surrender at once if Russia declared the war on Japan. They needed to drop the A-bomb on Japan as soon as possible.
The US government needed to drop the A-bomb on Japan twice because they wanted to test two types of A-bombs on real human bodies and correct data of the effectiveness of Aboms for future A-bomb development.
The US government needed to drop the Abomb because they had spent so much money to develop A-bombs and they are afraid of losing people's support if they didn't use them before the end of the war.
